The Northern Territory is not Australia's frontier; it is our strategic heart
The Northern Australia Strategic Policy Centre's latest report, Sea lines and strategic frontiers: The Territory's maritime advantage – Views from The Strategist, brings together 14 maritime-focused articles published in ASPI's The Strategist over the past 18 months.
With a foreword by The Hon Lia Finocchiaro MLA, Chief Minister of the Northern Territory, and a special introduction by Dr John Coyne and Raelene Lockhorst from ASPI's National Security Program – this special compendium highlights Northern Australia's pivotal role – and particularly Darwin's emerging position – as a base for maritime power projection, an Indo-Pacific sustainment hub, and a focal point for regional cooperation and Defence investment.
